The Kitchen Sink Sundae — Carol M. Highsmith

Carol M. Highsmith centers an elaborate ice cream sundae on the marble counter of a traditional American soda fountain. Layers of pale ice cream and red syrup fill a tall glass dish, topped with a generous swirl of whipped cream and brightly colored sprinkles.

The dessert remains sharply defined while the counter, metal fixtures, cups, and other elements of the shop recede into soft focus. Cream, red, yellow, and playful flashes of color contrast with the gray marble surface, turning a familiar American dessert into a concise record of soda-fountain culture.
